It fully depends on the available information, doesn’t it?

Without information there cannot be judgment.

And if the information I get shows that a person was a bad person by my standards then my opinion sure doesn’t discriminate between them still being alive or not.

If someone I liked dies and suddenly it turns out they were only likable in pretense or were secretly an asshole to others then that is new information that changes how I regard them. Yes, absolutely.

And when I got to see information on this Kirk person I could not see how his existence improved any lives except those who were like hom who didn’t really care about him as much as they did regard him as a tool for their agendas.

At most they are sad to have lost a pawn.

If the list of things that are completely fine is true… Then why would he be in the hospital so long? Is he lazy? Taking weeks long paid sick leave after a minor bump!

Yes, by my standards.

We are humans. We need standards we define to measure against in all aspects of life. And I have had many, many years to refine my standards and so I trust in them.

And yes, lots of people were indeed angry. Just like I have seen people be genuinely over the top angry because of other people… Not being religious, choosing an abortion, being nice and inclusive to a specific minority, etc.

Being angry can very much be used for measuring my standards too.

I was in the “who?” crowd and when I read up on it involuntarily everywhere I also saw nobody sad. All who stated how sad it was were clearly using it as a tool for forwarding an agenda or because they felt they needed to. Non-emotional sadness.

Sure, there might be people who felt truly sad because they had a constructed image of him in their heads.

Just like a crappy 90s boyband had women deeply in love with their artificial personas.

But people emotionally sad who knew the guy well? No, not that I could see in a remotely believable way.

Pretty sure he is too old for his job.

Single and isolated? You know that there are statistics about completion and play duration. It’s easy to see how many play it fully and THEN refund.

Trump can’t even wipe his own ass…

I’m trying to use as few american products as I can. It is nit easy as they have infected everyday life too much.

Not buying Nestlé is much simpler

They should take away her drivers license. A fine is not enough for so blatantly endangering everyone…

This is what I would say if she had actually looked down and not paid attention to traffic.

But this? This is just abusive use of technology

Ok, then that makes total sense. :)

I was just worried there was something undesirable about my choice.

I just bought a pixel10 that I intend to override with grapheneOS.

I thought thats an easy way to de-google. Isn’t it?

Well, yea. Giving great reviews and then refunding, as one example.

As if a good review alone was payment enough

I guess they didn’t expect people to be such freeloading assholes to play their game in full and then take back their money.

That kind of dumb people are why we have to deal with huge exploitative game companies instead of having more indie devs

I’ve turned too old… If I sit not all comes out and I have to go again an hour later.

It sucks.

My doctor tells me it’s that I’m just getting older… I’m mid 40.

So standing is the only really effective way to pee for me now sadly

I have none and no intent to have any.

When I see people with tattoos I have very different perceptions though.

Some people look like they desperately wanted to make something meaningful. Use their body “canvas” to do the equivalent of a social media post for attention. “look at me!”

Then there are people who have tattoos because of private meaning. Death of a child. Surviving cancer and other events that have left a mark already, just giving the mark space on the outside too.

And a few other corner cases where it actually, simply looks good. Rare, but there.

Once the kids are all grown up and out of the house my wife and I will buy something very affordable and small with a reasonablly sized garden in wherever there is barely enough infrastructure and internet and then hopefully can reduce the money making time to less than the self managed time.

But in this economy I will expect the kids to need us and this flat we pay for until they are 30…

Is this a one time 25 or is it monthly like a subscription?

I would probably just look. If there is no attempt at hiding anything then why should I attempt hiding looking?

You overestimate the critical thinking capabilities of your fellow humans.

Also some just don’t care anymore. I was close to not caring anymore too often due to how depressing the past few years have been for many things.

I think all AI companies are just trying to exist at as low prices as possible for as long as possible so that enough companies have time to implement AI into their company infrastructure.

Once the dependence on AI for work flows is locked in they raise the prices.

It will be a interesting time of a big AI bubble burst… And sadly also bad for many individuals losing their jobs in the companies that can’t revert in time.

Dumb CEOs will then again just get more money in the form of hidden compensation packages while the average Joe will have to do… Something.

Well, if AI drops down out of dumb hype into a normal spectrum it’s probably worth it.
